Both Chris and Daniel met Mark at the 4th annual Reel American Heroes foundation fishing tournament in Stafford, Virginia. He was part of an elite fishing team from the 3rd Special Forces called the Special Forces Fishing Team. He was a great leader, soldier, father, and role model. He will be missed.
